Coroner's Inquest
James Johnson, who had been lying sick in the shanty opposite the stone livery stable for sometime, died rather suddenly on Sunday. Rumors of foul play soon were in circulation. It was said that he had been poisoned. On Tuesday an inquest was held, Ira P. Nye acting as coroner. A jury was summoned, consisting of S. P. Huntington, A Van Houten, John Warr, P. C. Hughes, L. J McCullough, and M. B. Raymond, who were duly impanneled and sworn. They proceeded to the house of George Van Horn, where the body was lying and after viewing it, and hearing the testimony of witnesses, brought in a verdict that death was caused by a disease of the brain from which Mr. Johnson has suffered for a long time.
